How to safely add fingerlings to an Aquaponics System

  1. Open the box slightly to let a small amount of light in
  2. Open the box fully and allow the fish adjust to the full light
  3. Opening the bag and releasing them into the box and putting an air stone into the box
  4. Step 4 adding a jug of water from the Aquaponics to the boxes with the fish… we will repeat this step every few minutes until the box is full.
  5. Catching some fish to trial in the Aquaponics
  6. Catching & Releasing the Jade Perch into the Aquaponics System
  7. After 24 hours time is when the fish will get their first feed
